MORE WEAKNESS.

The rstateCommissiOn Threat
ems to Make Some More Decis-
ions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The majority
OF The interstate commerce commission
ers are in the city and the remainder
are expected to be here in time to begin
open sessions on Tuesday for the pre-
sentation Of cases under the interstate
commerce act. During the recess they
have practically decided number of
cases, the decisions in which will be
delivered as soon as they can be
written. Under the act the commission
is to report to congress by Dec. 1. The
report will probably be made through
the secretary Of the interior, to which
department the interstate commerce be-
longs. Commissioner Morrison said
yesterday that the commission would
probably have some suggestions to make
for the improvement of the act in
several respects, and, while he was not
prepared to say in advance what the
recommendations would be. He eX-
pressed the opinion that there would
be some further legislation on
the subject by the Fiftieth congress.
When asked about the widely-circulated
report that he had expressed his inten-
ton to be ready to run in the next con-
gressional election, the colonel quietly
remarked that that was newspaper
mans report, and he makes it point
never to contradict newspaper mans
report. The conversation turned upon
possible presidents and the articles now
appearing in the North American Re-
view, on that subject. Somebody Won
dered If President Cleveland had been
asked to contribute one of the articles,
and the colonel. in his dry. humorous
way, remarked that Cleveland would
certainly contribute probable presi-

A Matrimonial Fake.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The curious
matrimonial complications of Gus Will
Jams, the actor, made public to-day, re-
suited in Mayor Hewitt making known
the fact that Barnard or Wellman the
matrimonial agent, and his methods
have engaged the attention of the au-
thOritieS for month past. Mayor Hew-
lit on Sept. 2, received complaint from
a Wall street broker named Edward J.
Hanks, who asked that the place kept
by Wellman be looked after. Sapt.
Murray stirred up the captain of the po-
lice precinct where matrimonial agency
is situated, and his officers found that
Wellman was in correspondence with
hundreds of people throughout the cOun-
try. His circulars were found in the
shops of country stOrekeepers and
he had corps OF assistants constantly
employed. Fifty cents was the fee for
personal introduction of a gentleman to
a lady; S. was charged to list the name
OF matrimOnialiy inclined person on
the ageney's books, and other fees in
proportion were charged for various
fayOrS. The concern issued monthly
publication, the New York Cupid. which
retalled for 10 cents per copy, half rates
to patrons. Among Wellman's refer
enceS was Sarah A. Chase, NJ. D., the
lecturer, who acquired some notoriety
years ago. The police reported that
there was no positive evidence upon
which prosecution could be based and,
though the place remained under sur
VIGILANCE since that time, no arrests
were ever made.

BIG CROWD COMING

The railroads report that there is a
great demand for cars to-day all along
the various lines leading into St. Paul.
This indicates that there is going to be
an enormous rush of visitors to this city
tonight. A great many from neighbor-
ing towns will return home, as trains
will be held for their accommodation.
But there will be a great many others
who will have to remain over night, and
they must be accommodated with lodg-
ing. Every person who has a spare room
to rent should send his name and adj
dress this forenoon to J. II. HANSON. at
the Hotel Ryan, who is at the head of
the committee charged with the duty of
providing accommodation for visitors.

Every person should see the GLOBE
tomorrow. 1t will be a triumph of
typographical art, and the most magni
ficent illustration of the present presi-
dental trip attempted by any metro
politan paper. Every family in the
Northwest should preserve copy of this
souvenir of the presidential visit, as it
will be a thing of beauty and fit to
adorn any household. This issue will
contain the best portrait of President
CLEVELAND and Mrs. CLEVELAND
ever printed in America.
Other prominent illustrations will be
the CLEVELAND residence at Oak
View, a front view of the White house,
the capitol at Washington, interior
views of the White house, showing tie
west window, the reception parlor, the
east room, the library, the cabinet
room. the conservatory and the sur
rounding grounds, how former presi-
dents travelled, WAsHINGToN's coach
and-four, MONROE passing through
New York, LINCOLN speaking from a
baggage car. These illustrations are all
marvellous productions of the engra vers'
and printers handiwork. executed by
the leading house of the world, IN the
East, and the edition will surpass any,
thing every attempted by daily news
paper in America.
This is no idle boast. The ele giant
souvenir number will speak for itself
when it is seen. The ludicrous features
will not be neglected, and the local field
will be thoroughly covered and pro-
fuSely pictorialized. In literary point
of view the addition will be an honor to
the Northwest, and, the GLOBE believes,
credit to itself.
The reading matter has been very
carefully prepared by competent writ
ers, and there is enough of it to make a
book in itself. 1t will not be merely de-
scriptive of occurrences in st. Paul and
Minneapolis during the visit, but will
contain several pages of interesting
gossip about the president and his wife,
both before and after they became
famous people.

Allan o. Myers Thinks Ohio May
Go Democratic.


Allan O. Myers, the 'sPiqua" of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. reached Minneap-
oils last night as sort of an avant
courier on his own hook of the presi-
Dental party, or ''Dan Lamont's Spe-
cialty Combination" as he terms it. With
his usual fidelity to truth, he reveals
the startling fact that Cleveland caught
no fish at Madison Saturday, although
the Associated press credits the chief
executive of the United States with a
fine string of bass. The gifted En-
quirer correspondent last evening i'm
parted in confidence his views on the
political situation in Ohio, which briefly
summarized are that Powell is liable to
defeat Foraker by about 5000 votes,
although the balance of the Republican
ticket will probably be elected. He
thinks the prohibitionists and labor
men will hold the balance of power in
the next legislature. The Germans, he
says, will vote almost sOlidly with the
Republicans. As result Ohio will be-
come prohibition state and the Demo-
Gratis Will vote with the Prohibitionfsts
to make it so. This rather paradoXical
action on their part is occasioned by the
support the Germans are giving the Re-
publican ticket, when that party has
always enacted laws hostile to their in
terestS.

THE YANKEE AHEAD.

1t is not going to be such plain sailing
after all for Count MITKIEwIcz, the Rus
sian who recently obtained such inn
portant financial concessions from
China. His success has stirred up En-
glish and French capitalists who are en-
-deavoring to make other arrangements,
but in their own interests. 1t appears,
however, that the Americans interested
in this enterprise have only justified the
impression already created that they
can teach the other nations of the earth
anything they ought to know, and that
this is, indeed, an age of progress. For

A Heavy Failure.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 9.-The announce
ment is made tonight of the failure of
A. Pollack Il Co., wholesale clothiers
and gents furnishing goods, for one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars. In addition to the main house in
Omaha the firm has branches at
Cheyenne, Wy; and Huron,
Oak. The failure is due
to the stringency of the money market.
Heavy drafts were made on the main
house by the Huron branch, which
were caused by the failure of the crops
in Dakota. The heaviest creditor is the
Merchants National bank of Omaha,
which holds $4,000 of the firms paper.
The balance of the creditors are Chi
cagO, Cincinnati and New York houses.
The. assets are now unknown. The
bank has been made preferred

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Oct. o.
Mrs. Charles Schauffert, of Breslau,
while walking on path across the gar
den of George GaebleiD, of the same
place, yesterday, was shot and instantly
killed by Gaeblein, who was lying in
wait for the purpose. He Immediately
buried the WOman's body having had
the grave in readiness. The husband
OF Mrs. Schauffert came the same way
later on and was also shot by Gaeblein,
but received only slight wounds in the
hands. Gaeblein was arrested by con-
stable and is now held at Glest's hotel.
After a search by the residents Mrs.
Schauffert's body was discovered in the
grave. The trouble which led to the
shooting has been of long standing. 1t
was caused by the Schaufferts using the
path through Gaeblein's property.
The murderer was locked up. He sub
sequently made confession, saying
that he had deliberately killed Mrs.
Schauffert and had intended to kill her
husband. The murderer, while under
arrest swallowed dose of poison, but
not sufficient to cause death, as he has
recovered from its effects.

HIS VICTIM ALIVE.
A Texas Man Tried for an Uncom-
mitted Murder.

Speclal 10 the Globe.
/: BoNHAM, Tex, Oct. 9.-From Deputy
Sheriff Mitch Simmons, of Savoy. the
following sensational facts have been
CLEANED i'll regard to Jim Scarlett, the
man who was, at the last term of the
district court, sentenced to hang for the
murder of5zAndy Lacefeld, committed
about three years ago in the northern
part of this Canning county. The evil
dence against Scarlett was furnished by
fWO men who claimed to have
seen him come upon Lacefeld while
asleep and strike him repeatedly on the
head with his revolver, after trying
vainly to shoot his sleeping enemy. A
strong piece of cOrrObOrative evidence
was the dying confession of a convict,
who claimed to have been inundated
by Scarlett into helping him to carry the
body to the river, where it was
thrown In. All three men Scarlett
got, out OF the way, and it was
with great. difficulty that the
two lluing witnesses were found. Upon
the information given by the dying con-
Wet, pending the trial, Scarlett's attor-
ney received letter from gentleman
who lived near the scene of the sup
posed murder stating that Lacefefd
was not dead, but was then living some
where in the county. No particular
attention was paid to this statement,
but subsequent developments have
proved the assertion not without
grounds. Deputy Sheriff Simmons has
seen the man who was supposed to have
been murdered, and he is now living
near Trenton, about eighteen miles
from this city. The man stated to Sim
mons. that he was without doubt the
Lacefield whom Scarlett had so recently
stood trial for killing; that when
thrown into the river and left for dead
he had regainedcons and been
restored to life. When asked why he
did not appear during the trial and save
the condemned man from death SEN
tence, he stated that he didn't care if
Scarlet was hung. In Justification of
the statement that his name is Lace
field, the man showed Mr.. Simmons the
scars made by Scarlett's pistol.
